Looks like my XSD4MXML tutorial post was like so 1999 'cause the boys over at FDT delivered the beta release 3.2 with MXML support the 13th of March already. I can't keep up these days. What are you waiting for? Get it now! 

For those of you who want to get some MXML support in FDT I thought I'd share this little tutorial. I can't take credit for this as it was the guys from FDT who pointed this out at recent visit to LFPUG and Adobe MAX Milano way back in 2008. Lets hope we get FDT to support MXML natively so this isn't required but until then here goes. A small caveat, this will probably not work in Flex 4 as I remember them removing the mx namespace for the framework.

It should be quite evident by now that I am a huge fan of Eclipse and FDT for Flash development. I thought it might be cool to drop the guys at FDT an email and get an update of where things are  in the world of Powerflashers!

This is a follow up from the Complete Starter guide. You may want to read that first if you are new to Eclipse and FDT. The aim of this article is to provide some helpful insights when developing Flash websites using the Eclipse platform with the FDT plug-in. The focus will be more on the platform and how FDT offers certain features that you as an Actionscripter just can't live without. The Eclipse IDE is full of very useful built-in features. All of which is available to use. This article relies on the default shortcut keys when FDT is installed.

FWK is a Flash project wizard for Eclipse 3.x. This plug-in is used to improve work-flow for creating projects quickly and efficiently by minimizing the effort of setting up. By using XML templates all created stub files and folders are fully customizable to suit your individual needs.
